Well this message is directed towards URBANRDNECK but anyone is welcome to chime in. I know he got rid of his Dakota so I'm not sure if he's still floating around on the forums, but what type of headlights does he have? I really like the look of them.

Here's a pic from the forums of his truck:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/image.p...ine=1318740521

I'm looking to upgrade since my lights are pretty yellow and fogged, i've tried clearing them up but I believe a new pair is needed. I'm trying to avoid all the rewiring so I don't wanna go with HIDs, just a quality aftermarket replacement. I've found ones that look similar on eBay and if I'm gonna buy a pair I want to make sure they are the same ones and they are quality ones because shipping to here (Canadia eh) is almost as much as the headlights themselves.

I'm open to other models if people have had good experiences with them!

Thanks!

Ive got the eagle eyes version of those. Pretty much the same but the turn signals are on the top... These are not just bolt in by the way. high beam and low beam and turns are, but the halos, and eyebrows have to be wires into something.

Found that on an eBay ad, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume its not actually that simple to install lol

the brackets on 99% of the aftermarket assemblies are junk... install wasnt bad. I had unusual time lining everything up to fit right.

Glad you're still here!

I am just looking at a few aftermarket headlight options because my stock ones are terrible, yours look sharp on your truck and I was just wondering what they are called and how much of a pain they were to install.

Thanks!
